About E13.52

E13.52 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified diabetes mellitus with diabetic peripheral angiopathy with gangrene. It belongs to category E13 (other specified diabetes mellitus), block E08-E13 (diabetes mellitus) and chapter 4 (endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within E13.5 (other specified diabetes mellitus with circulatory complications), E13.52 is specifically for other specified diabetes mellitus with diabetic peripheral angiopathy with gangrene. Related codes cover diabetic peripheral angiopathy without gangrene (E13.51) and other circulatory complications (E13.59).

Use an additional code to identify control using: injectable non-insulin antidiabetic drugs (Z79.85), insulin (Z79.4), oral antidiabetic drugs (Z79.84) and oral hypoglycemic drugs (Z79.84).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 008 (Simultaneous Pancreas, Islet Cell and Kidney Transplant, relative weight 5.5146), DRG 010 (Pancreas or Islet Cell Transplant, relative weight 7.5259), DRG 019 (Simultaneous Pancreas, Islet Cell and Kidney Transplant with Hemodialysis, relative weight 7.5493), DRG 299 (Peripheral Vascular Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.5842), DRG 300 (Peripheral Vascular Disorders with CC, relative weight 1.0464) and DRG 301 (Peripheral Vascular Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7133), in Pre-MDC and MDC 05 (Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 249.70 (secondary diabetes mellitus with peripheral circulatory disorders, not stated as uncontrolled, or unspecified), 250.70 (diabetes with peripheral circulatory disorders, type II or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled), 443.81 (peripheral angiopathy in diseases classified elsewhere) and 1 more.
